Q&A's
What inspired you to pursue a career in the automation industry, and how did you get started in this field?
My journey began after completing a degree in Business Management Studies. While I initially aspired to pursue a career in marketing, I was drawn to ITS for its reputation and growth within the automation sector. The prospect of challenging myself in a new and exciting field, combined with the potential to contribute to ITS' expansion, inspired me to take the leap. Embracing this steep learning curve, I joined ITS, and over the years, I have found immense fulfilment in contributing to the company's success and witnessing the transformation of the automation industry.
What do you enjoy most about working at ITS, and what sets you apart from other automation businesses in the industry?
What I find most enjoyable is the opportunity to actively engage with customers, listening to their needs, and collaboratively devising solutions that elevate their performance. The diverse spectrum of automation solutions we offer keeps the job dynamic and exciting. Building enduring partnerships with both suppliers and customers is a personal highlight, as it underscores the mutual trust and rapport we foster. The real rewards come from securing new business and landing substantial contracts; it's a testament to our team's dedication and the value we bring to our clients. The role is a harmonious blend of problem-solving, innovation, and relationship-building.
What do you like to do outside of work to unwind and recharge, and how do you balance your personal and professional life?
Beyond my professional life, I find exhilaration in skiing down snowy slopes amidst stunning mountains. Caravanning fuels my passion for exploration, while playing the piano serves as a therapeutic escape. Above all, cherishing quality moments with friends and family is vital to maintaining balance. Alongside setting boundaries and emphasising self-care, these activities help me harmonise my personal and professional life.
